Presper Eckert Interview NATIONAL MUSEUM OF AMERICAN HISTORY SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Transcript of an Interview with J. Presper Eckert Chief Engineer, ENIAC Computer From: Development of the ENIAC interviews Smithsonian Videohistory Collection Record Unit 9537 Smithsonian Institution Archives Washington DC Interviewers: David Allison National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution Peter Vogt February 2, 1988 TABLE OF CONTENTS ENIAC Background J. Presper Eckert Background Improving military gun firing tables with computers MIT and Harvard's Efforts Developing Computers ... ENIAC Wiring ENIAC Background TO CONTENTS J. Presper Eckert Background David Allison (DKA): Let's go back to 1943 and the circumstances that surrounded the invention of this machine. How do you remember the environment? JPE: I don't know what you mean when you say how do I remember the environment. DKA: Was it a pressured environment? How was the problem originally presented to you? Peter Vogt: Why did they stop you? What was important about it that they put you on to? Set the stage for us. JPE: What happened is that during World War II, a number of large guns, field pieces, were sent over to Africa. Tables were sent with them, telling them where to set the dials on the gun to allow for the amount of wind blowing and the height of the elevation of the target, with the expectation that the shell would land where you wanted it to when you followed the prescription in the book. The shells did not land where you wanted them to. The people down there using these guns were having to make guesswork corrections on the tables to hit anything, not very satisfactory in the middle of a war. The trouble was traced to the fact that the ground was more resilient in Africa, due to the type of vegetational growth in the jungle.

John W. Mauchly J. Prespers Eckert Table of Contents I Claim to Fame II Research/Career highlights III Trivia IV Bibliography I Claim to Fame John W. Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert were the two principle inventors of the ENIAC computer,the first large-scale general-purpose electronic computer. ENIAC is an acronym for "Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer," built at the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School of Electrical Engineering.As a general-purpose computer to solve a wide range of calculations,this distinguished the ENIAC from earlier automated calculating machines designed for single problem-solving applications.They began the ENIAC in 1943 and completed the ENIAC in 1946. The ENIAC was introduced to the public on Valentine's day,14 February 1946. The ENIAC 's technical specifications : took up 3,000 cubic feet weighted 30 tons used 18,000 vacuum tubes and 70,000 registers required more than 170 kilowatts of power had a random access memory capacity of about 1,000 information bits used punched cards to store data The ENIAC was used by the U.S. Army for military calculations in the World War II.

John Presper Eckert Born: 9 April 1919 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania , USA Died: 3 June 1995 in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, USA Click the picture above to see two larger pictures Show birthplace location Previous (Chronologically) Next Biographies Index Previous (Alphabetically) Next Main index J Presper Eckert Jr. attended the William Penn Carter School in Germanstown. In 1937, after graduating from school, he entered the Moore School of Electrical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania from where he graduated in 1941. Eckert, an outstanding electrical engineering student, was given a post as an instructor at the Moore School soon after his graduation. The Moore School was by this time heavily involved with research specifically directed towards the war effort. Eckert taught a defence course at the Moore School and one of his students on the course was John Mauchly . It might seem strange that Mauchly , who was twelve years older than Eckert, should be his student. Mauchly was already an established academic teaching physics but he became involved in defence training as part of his contribution to the war effort. Eckert quickly became interested in Mauchly's ideas for the development of computers and for a while the two discussed these ideas frequently. Soon, however, Eckert moved on to undertake other military work at the School. Ashurst [2] relates how Eckert was:- .... eventually involved with work on ultraviolet light and the development of the means to measure metal fatigue. Later, he went on to develop a method for measuring small magnetic fields to be used in detecting marine mines. He then went on to work on the electronics of radar and target locating and following equipment; these devices played a decisive part in weaponry, and their development and construction was considered to be of the very highest priority.

J. Presper Eckert, Jr. (1919-1995) Nació el 9 de abril de 1919 en Philadelphia (EE.UU.) y fue el único hijo de una prospera familia. Desde muy pequeño evidenció poseer aptitudes excepcionales para las matemáticas y mentalidad de inventor. En 1937, luego de graduarse del colegio privado William Penn Charter School, Eckert ingresó en la Universidad de Pennsylvania, donde se graduó de ingeniero eléctrico en 1941. Después de graduado, Eckert continuó trabajando en la Universidad y realizando estudios de postgraduado. Aún antes de obtener su título de ingeniero, Eckert ya había diseñado y construido un dispositivo para medir la concentración de vapor de naftaleno utilizando luz ultravioleta y, posteriormente, trabajó en el desarrollo de instrumentos para medir los límites de fatiga en los metales. Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Eckert diseñó y construyó un dispositivo que permitía detectar cambios rápidos en pequeños campos magnéticos. Este dispositivo se utilizó ampliamente durante la guerra para desactivar las minas marítimas del enemigo. Otros de los inventos de Eckert estuvieron relacionados con los radares, y en ellos aplicó por primera vez conceptos digitales relacionados con contadores, a problemas de ingeniería electrónica. A la edad de 22 años, sirviendo de instructor en la Universidad para un grupo de alumnos, la mayoría de los cuales eran Ph.D (doctorados en su rama particular), conoció y trabó amistad con
